Scrambler Desert Sled

Directly from the desert and mountains of California comes the #ducati #scramblerdesertsled: a new version that draws its inspiration from the off-road bikes that, back in the '60s and '70s, made US motorcycling history. Desert Sleds were American-born bikes that appeared in South-West California and in Mexico’s Baja California in the ’60s and ’70s. These were road bikes with engine displacements of over 500 cm3 , stripped of any non-essential accessories, fitted with off-road tyres, wheels and spokes and given modified suspension systems and engine skid plates. In fact, it’s the engine skid plate - indispensable in shielding the bike from rocks, stones and the unforgiving desert terrain - that gave the Desert Sled its name. Over the years these bikes became a motorcycle category in their own right: until their arrival, no comparable style had ever been seen. The #ducati #scramblerdesertsled faithfully revives that spirit - but without abandoning the unique Scrambler lifestyle values - and extends the new Bolognabuilt brand into the “easy off-road” sector. Thanks to the modified frame and suspension, the spoked wheels (19" at the front) and ground-breaking lines, this bike is simply perfect for those who want to be able to get off the asphalt and take a less-beaten track. The off-road capability of the #ducati #scramblerdesertsled is also evident in the type-approved headlight mesh guard, the high mudguards (specially designed for this version) and, of course, the engine skid plate. Thanks to a higher seat (a 20 mm lower one is available as an optional), suspension with extended travel (now 200 mm) and off-road style footpegs with removable rubber pads, this Scrambler is also characterised by a new riding position. The passenger pegs - separated from the rider's - are removable. The #ducati #scramblerdesertsled inherits its logo from the Urban Enduro and is a natural evolution of the latter towards a more off-road style.
